Adventure book game dev wanted please - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if anyone can remember the Steve Jackson Ian Livingstone book collection from the 80's and 90's but I was wondering if it has or can be done in a game format for our android as I used to love those books and would love to experience them on my phone I would presume it would be quite simple because it's a book and pictures would be minimal maybe a coin toss animation or dice roll animation but I really believe this would be a great concept for a game can somebody make this happen please!!!

Porting application from the iPhone to a Windows Mobile Device

Emmh don't tell me you've never thought about porting application from the iPhone to a Windows Mobile Device. Found out a program is being developed to do this:
here's the news:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee355030.aspx
Anyone think it is doable?
well thought someone might enjoy the 1/10000000 chance
Nice catch.....if I read well it is a case study on how it can be done.....since MS operating system is loosing quite some market share vs Android, iphone etc and WM7 is around the corner requiring all new software development....indeed this to happen for us WM6.1/6.5 is 1/100000000000
I can already picture myself playing Plants VS Zombies...
Ah ok......I am not a gamer.......
You could ofcourse buy an iPhone.......
Haha only ppl with patience can use an IPhone - tried the other day and got furious - hard to type and get turning the screeen hahaha

Sim City/Anno style peaceful God sims?

Good morning!
It only just occurred to me yesterday, that the large touch screen of the NC would be great for a city building style game like AoE/Anno/Sim City.
I've already seen Anno on the Nintendo DS and iOS so we know the touch interface suits the RTS style of game, but I've not had any luck finding any similar games for Android (except maybe Sim City Metropolis which has generally terrible reviews).
So I was just wondering if anyone had come across some peaceful building sims that I could try out?
Thanks!
There is majesty. You could try that one.
Any other games I would like to know too.
SNesoid then grab SimCity ROM.
Haypi Kingdom looks like it could be interesting, but it won't let me create an account. It just tell me that my device is already registered to someone called jbryant187. Anyone else have this problem?
Are you on froyo? As i understood froyo randomise an imei number at startup. You can have someone else imei..
CM7, but I figured it was something like this. Just annoying that I can't create a new account.
OpenTTD.

Haven't tried it on NC yet, but it's pretty much playable on Dell Streak.
I played Majesty on the NC, its actually really fun and works perfectly - it only has like 8 levels though. So you go through them pretty quickly.
I found one that has some promise, Townsmen 6. Free and paid versions available.
yes. majesty is really good.
there's also Settlers, Townsmen 6, and to a smaller extent Hot Springs Story.
Great thread. I'm about to try out Paradise Island now.
You can also run Warcraft 2 and Starcraft through stratagus. It doesn't have sound like it did on Windows Mobile (but maybe they'll fix it or someone will finally make a decent Android strategy game).

Thank youu
I play Paradise Island and Townsmen6.
Paradise Island is quite boring soon, since only thing is getting money and building new buildings.
Townsmen has more interest, since U must take care of your people.
Amazon was just giving majesty away free as part of there a free app a day promo. It runs well on my nook and its nice on a larger screen.

OnLive Viewer Update Available Now!

I just checked my Flyer for an update and OnLive Viewer just popped up. After a quick download, I created an account and poked around a bit. I was unable to play any free trials but I would assume functionality is just around the corner. This tablet is getting better and better everyday. A couple of screen captures:
yup i just did the update this morning it looks sick i cant wait for live game play
Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using XDA Premium App
Is this a free apk?
If not, where did you get it?
Thanks!
Someone get a hold of that APK and remove any device requirements
I want this on my Xoom & OG!
APK !!!!. I'll try and port it to the nook color
please extract .apk HTC Flyer OnLive Viewer and put in this page for other android htc users ,
with titanium app or other you can save your apps installed .
extract and put it please
This might seem against yhe spirit of xda but..... Can we not port the apk. I would like to see some more official development on this unrootable device that i paied to much money for. This would effectively kill onlive for the flyer. Atleast wait until games are playable as this is only a viewer and only about as cool as just in tv

You must be joking. Since when is the "MY DEVICE HAS IT, EVERYONE ELSE **** OFF" mentality ever been a good thing? Android isn't supposed to have these idiotic exclusive applications, that's why the OS was so carefully designed to make applications compatible everywhere.
I'm really looking forward to someone ripping an apk... please?
+1. I'd love to have the apk. I could probably bypass the device check if it has one.

You, sir, are amazing! Works great on HTC Evo 4G. Still need to test it on my Transformer.
I installed it on my Nook Color running Cyanogen and it works perfect.
Thanks, that's awesome, it works on the Droid X, though the graphics are a little muddy. I'm a big fan on OnLive though I can't wait to see future Android updates.
Unfortunately not working on Sprint Hero running GB 2.3.4.
Installs, but force closes every time you attempt to open it.
Hi guys,
I've tested it on the Transformer and it is a no go. After looking at the logcat, it appears to be using a compiled .so, so it should only run on similar platforms to the Flyer. I'm somewhat shocked it works on the Droid X, bt I suppose the architectures are similar enough to work.
Disappointing. OnLive has said they want to aim for end of 2011 for a full tablet launch, including gaming. I can't see why it is taking them so long .
works just fine on my android HD2 but not on my dell streak 7
Thank you for the .apk you just made my day
Works on dhd as well as flyer

it works in nokia n900 with nitdroid N12 2.34 gingerbread
Thanks guys, working perfectly on Nook Color CM7
Works on my original DROID and HTC Thunderbolt too.

Future of Tablet Gaming

So, I bit the bullet and bought a Prime, I had talked myself out of it about 9 million times, was going to buy a used one from chin-a-ling (sorry mate) but my fiancee pushed me, and pushed me and I finally bought one... I am in love.
But the title says it all, I am wondering what the future is going to be. My hope is to end up being able to play Portal on this thing one day. With the fact that Bethesda has mentioned possible tablet ports of older titles, Valve has always been one to examine all unique possibilities. It would be incredible to be Chell running through the hall way, aiming and then tapping where I want the portal
Anyways, what does everyone else think? Looking forward to seeing what the major companies might do? Games you hope to see ported or even developed as a standalone counterpart from your favorite series?

I think tablet gaming especially on iOS has a bright future. Some of iOS's best exclusives have trickled their way to Android. But there is still a lot to be desired on the Android platform as far as games go. Currently EPIC is making fantastic games for iOS through ChAIR Entertainment. Hopefully they will one day embrace Android.
Well ios has infinity blade and usually gets games a bit earlier. That's about it IMHO.
Android has amazing emulators and most importantly full gamepad support.
There are also some really nice looking tegra3 exclusives coming. Definately infinity blade lvl of graphics.
I'd say the future is bright. Me personally I'm hoping for point and click adventures getting big on tablets. They perfect for touch control.
Gaming on tablets and Prime will be SICK! Just watch. Already amazed at the types of games I'm playing already. And I don't play b.s. ones like angry birds or whatever. Lol hardcore gamer here.
I used to be a hardcore gamer before I joined the Navy but after I got out I haven't had time with school, but I am a huge Portal/Half Life Fan, as well as a few of the other artsy FPS games e.g. Mirrors Edge. I KNOW the Tegra 3 can handle it, it is a matter of whether or not the big guys will believe in the future of tablet/mobile gaming. It is a growing segment of serious gamers, and I think that tablet ownership would increase as games become more innovative/complex.

And it works like a charm. It never ceases to amaze me that the first time I played day of the tentacle I had to clear my 40MB(!) hdd before I could install it, was supplied om an enormous amount of floppy disks, took ages to install and now I can play it on a apparatus small enough to fit in my pocket (in case of my galaxy nexus)...
They need to bring the Broken sword series to Android. I have both games on Ipad n loved them. Like a touch point n click. Graphics n storyline is very good.
I installed onlive and am playing all sorts of pc games.
It works great with the Xbox 360 controller.
Onlive? Huh, I'll check it out! Thanks for the idea!

There's an app or method to get apps not available in your area or whatever. I forgot what it was. I would think as long as you have a decent to fast internet connection, Onlive should work fine for you. Plus its a free app so technically someone could upload the free apk for you to use. Worth a shot.

that wouldn't even matter. he just make a free account then sign in. there's nothing in the app that's esteeming location, I don't think. I would think as long as he make an account, which is just providing email address and making a user name, he would be good. worth a try. nothing to lose.

Hi All,
I've spent the last 2 years trying to get in touch with the right people about getting this game back. Red Lynx told me they couldn't help, but this didn't stop me.
I used twitter and all the connections I have in the mobile sphere and finally managed to start a conversation with Senior Manager, BD & Partnering of Nokia.
The latest is that they would be willing to release the IP for the game and the code.
Basically it's at the stage of making a monetary offer and plan for the future of this game.
Not being a developer, I know need to find out how much it would cost to convert the game and try and work out what this code might be worth, currently I have no idea so can't make an offer.
As for the future if it's not me by perhaps someone else who manages to get this up and running great.
I see this game running on PC, iOS, Android and WP in it's original multiplayer form.
If anyone knows any investors developers and advice on what this might be worth please let me know.
Thanks
Chris

I was part of the team that created the game so I can say for sure that porting the code should not be a big deal. It was made to be multiplatform and even worked on both big&little endian systems. The bigger problem are the controls as the game was designed with hardware controls in mind. As for what the game's assets & rights are worth I have no idea.
There should be a way to replace hardware buttons without ruin the gameplay. The game really deserves to be on this new phones. Connectivity I way better, not that choppy as on my old Nokia N958Gb were I started playing it.

Enjoyed this game very much plus the replayability made it very unboring and the multiplayer, that was the funnest part. I think this will go out at WP OS soon coz now that nokia was sold to Windows
This game was awesome!
I really hope someone will buy the IP and port it to Android.
it could be a great exclusive for windows phone. I would buy a new phone for this game. What about change.org or kickstarter?
Why Windows phone exclusive? That's quite silly. It should be a multi-platform as many games out there.

That's because the rights to that game are held by Nokia which is now a part of Microsoft.
I would buy a Lumia if this games made available on WP!

I want it so bad. Wrote Redlynx a year ago and they told me that Nokia has all rights. Quite silly to not port it, but hey,..it´s Nokia.
I think if you don´t make a stupid free to play of it, it would be a great successor again. Very special and innovative game!!
